'Beyond the Morning Light' Painting

Painting (#firepainting) with fire has its limits, you can tame and manipulate fire to a certain extent but at the end of the day fire is an element to which it cannot, or will ever be fully tamed. I have been using fire for the last 13 years in my art. It was a 'happy' accident at first but after many a destroyed canvas, burns and lose of body and facial hair I have become to master this technique and couldn't live without it. I created 'Beyond the Morning Light' while I was on a residency in the most beautiful part of Ireland, Ballinskelligs Co Kerry. I couldn't sleep one night and got up with the sunrise, I walked up the mountain where the artist village was situated, Mount Canuig. I brought up with me to the top of the mountain an already prepared fire-painted canvas and as the sunrise rose I sketched it. I then went down to the studio and painted this piece for the entire like a journey in itself painting this piece, I completely lost myself in it ad loved every second. I dabbled with the light on and off through out the years, I could never capture the right light, but when I started to use metallic paint I then got as close to the perfect sunrise as I could. This piece featured in my sell out show, 'I AM HOMAN' in June 2016, at the time I couldn't part with I am now ready to do so and happy to, you must let go to move forward after all. I hope the viewers will love this piece as much as I do and will bring them great happiness. I absolutely cannot explain how much I love this. Like many of my other paintings once you hang it in your desired space the painting takes on a whole new life and narrative. It will change through out the day too as the light gets stronger and weaker the painting gets better and better and complements the chosen space
